Who we are looking for?

  • 1 – 3+ years of experience in financial services, investment operations, or estate administration.
  • Strong knowledge of estate accounts, legal representative authorities (POA, Representation Agreement, Committeeship), and registered/non‑registered investment products.
  • Experience interpreting and applying policies in a regulated environment.
  • Proficiency with financial systems, workflow tools, and Microsoft 365 applications.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with sound judgment when assessing complex scenarios.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a high commitment to accuracy.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to navigate sensitive or emotionally charged situations with professionalism and empathy.
  • Highly organized and adaptable, able to prioritize workloads in a fast‑paced environment with shifting deadlines.
  • Proactive and self‑directed, with the ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a team.
